Trim tag build date is 03d and the axle code is QX 0203g1 E. Can you gleam anything from the admittedly poor picture about the taper? I will check on the taper and the fronts and will post any info I get on it. I this in the window for the JL8 option to be factory?

Maybe a thought but does anyone know when the NON tapered JL8 housings were available complete and over the counter for purchase?

Thought I would start this one...

I am in the process to do 2 rebuilds of M20 transmissions.

I am looking at the bolts for the front retainer, side cover, speedo tab bolt, and the bolts for the rear tail housing.

I looked at the transmission mount bolts that I have and they are TR bolts.

The speedo bolt at the tab is an "L".

So far, I have some SBC & TR tail housing bolts.

Can you guys offer up what I need to be correct for my M20's???

Does nayone have the info on the dates of these 4296 holleys that came on the factory ZL1s and l88 corvettes .   I know a 911 sold for 10K a few years back.  Havent seen many prior to 942.

I saw one on eBay with an August 68 date.
Very early.
I would assume that anything prior to February 1969 was intended for an L88.

Is the question here regarding establishing the correct date/timelines for a 4296 to be "ON" a ZL1 delivered car?
-OR-
Are you trying to establish a price to any 4296?

If your question is regarding correct delivered timelines, ie: open the hood of a brand new 69 ZL1 and see that 4296 there in person on that motor,
then I would invite those in the know to offer that answer.

If you are trying to establish the price of one of these with a 1968/1969 date, then it would be up to the need of someone who has a real car,
whether it be an L88 or a ZL1, needing a 4296 with the date code for their car missing the original carb.

Clone cars, ones that are not real, made to look correct, define a value that only fits that need; and one established by that owner.

12 Bolt GM issue Pinion Yoke.
In this discussion, this inquiry is directed to GM Camaro 1967-1969 (1970) 12 Bolt housings.

Im starting on my 12 Bolt rear axle rebuild.
I am obtaining the parts for it to get it completed and ready for install when the coupe shell comes back from body/paint.

Question:
Is there anything to know about these Pinion Yokes?
I have to buy one as I need one for mine.

12 Bolt vs. 10 Bolt GM issue Pinion Yokes:
Are they the same or are they different?
I was not sure if the 10 & 12 Bolt Pinions had the same thread spline count.

OK.

Where would one typically find this installed?
396's?
SS-350 cars?
9560 cars?
Would a Transistorized Ignition fall into that category of alternator?

Could I ask you guys to discuss and define this option.
Most searches I do come up with A/C, TH400, or Z28 in relative fields.

Thanx

BTW, would it be worthwhile to add an RPO "code" category?
I am aware of the PDF list, but a place to discuss those...

Ooooooo, very very close to my PaceCar!

So my inquiry was leading towards another following question.

1. Did the Norwwod plant take up the extra work demands while this plant was down?

There was no way to do that other than scheduling overtime, and that wouldn't come close to making up the volume of units lost from Van Nuys; the line speed never changed.

I was looking at that timeline. Just wondering how the Factories handled the orders.

Unfortunately, I wasnt there then to know.

Is there any other irregularities that happened during the 1969 run/year that can be shared here.

So Saturday workdays are possible; other things?

So my inquiry was leading towards another following question.

1. Did the Norwwod plant take up the extra work demands while this plant was down?

2. Did the Van Nuys plant do the same after the strike ended?

The reason I ask is I was wondering if any of the plants ever worked weekends during the 1969 year.

If so, what known plants, and or work group areas did weekend work?

Was this Strrke affecting ONLY the Van Nuys plant?

Question...

I apologize first for forgetting the strike timeline in 1969.

When did it begin, when did it end, and what plants and models were affected?

I thought that Eric J did not do Quadrajets anymore?

I just looked at Eric's website. It is indeed posted there that he is still doing QuadraJets.

Just wanted to update and clarify this for him and everyone else interested.

Seems there "might" be a few out here in SoCal.

I am going to speak with a guy here in OC later this week or next.

I want to speak with him and see his work prior to my first carb with him.

I'll keep you posted.

I was reading a somewhere online that is suggesting that the throttle shafts were teflon coated?

Can there be more discussion here as to known knowledge for replatings, coloring, and correctness here regarding restoring QuadraJets?

I've been holding out on restoring my original carb because I wanted to get the job done right by the right shop the first time.

wanted to continue this thread...

Who else provides Quadrajet restorations out there?

There must be more people out there providing correct services for restorations.
